Noah greeted his father-in-law then mentioned the divorce. However, at that moment, his mother opened her mouth. “Noah, you’re wrong for requesting a divorce when your wife is pregnant. Apologize to your father-in-law and follow him home!”Even though his mother had never left the mountains her entire life, she was still an understanding woman. She knew to value peace and harmony above everything else. The moment his mother’s words left her mouth, his father-in-law started reprimanding him too. “You rascal! How could you do this! It’s normal for couples to argue, how could you ask for a divorce just because of an argument? Requesting for a divorce from the woman who is carrying your child! Are you even human!”Noah knew he was at fault, so he lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry.” “Go home!” His father-in-law ordered. Noah did not move. His father-in-law continued, “Since your mother is here, invite her home with us. I think your mother should just stay. After all, Willo
A month passed. Willow was getting along in her pregnancy, so Noah’s mother cleaned the house and did the housework, and she remained unpaid. Every time that happened, Noah looked at his mother, and felt as if knives were stabbing into his chest. But Willow’s belly grew bigger and bigger, so Noah could no longer voice out against his wife. Pregnancy was a nine-month-long process, however, giving birth only took a day. Willow gave birth to a little boy. The boy took his mother’s name. Both families were delighted to see Willow give birth to a boy. However, someone was fairly unhappy, and that was his four-year-old brother. His elder brother greatly disliked his younger brother’s arrival, always beating him up when the adults were distracted. Noah saw this many times, but as his stepfather, Noah could not reprimand him too much. Hence, he told Willow about this. However, Willow only hugged her eldest son and said happily, “Our eldest prince is a brave warrior. He will be his father
Noah’s son performed well in school, was obedient, sensible, and had a good temper. He was very different from their eldest son. Their eldest son was three and a half years older than his younger brother. After graduating from junior high school, he had dropped out of school and started mixing with the wrong crowd. Noah wanted to discipline him strictly, but every time, he was stopped by his wife. Even so, his eldest son always thought that his entire family preferred his younger brother. His paternal grandmother always regarded his younger brother as her precious treasure. Meanwhile, his maternal grandparents also complimented his brother for his good academic results whenever they were in public. Even his mother, who always preferred him, was proud of his brother. The eighteen, nineteen-year-old teenager was at his most rebellious age. The next day after his brother got into the best high school in South City, he lifted a knife and stabbed his brother more than ten times. When the
He still had to pay compensation to his ex-wife. He was sentenced to eight months in prison, and because he had to compensate her for her loss, the little money he saved up for his mother, and the five thousand dollars she saved for more than ten years were all given to his ex-wife. In his eight months in prison, his mother wandered around outside prison, living off of the goodwill of strangers, often starving for days. After enduring such a life for eight months, when Noah was released from prison. His mother weighed less than eighty pounds then. Both mother and son were completely broke, without a single penny to their names. Most importantly, no one was willing to hire Noah even when he went job hunting, saying he was a murderer who caused his two sons’ deaths, and a scumbag who hit his wife. Just like that, after being released from prison, Noah and his mother starved for three days without a single bite to eat. Later, he ran into his ex-wife. His handicapped wife started hitti
Noah couldn’t believe his ears. “Real-really?” Actually, he did not harbor other intentions. He just thought a woman like her would not be able to survive alone in the mountains and he did not want anything to happen to her. But Jane felt warm. She had been thoroughly hurt by Alex. Now all she wanted was a quiet and peaceful life, no matter how poor and simple it was.She said gently, “I…Since I was a child, my parents didn’t want me. I always wanted a mother to love me, from now on I’ll acknowledge you as my godmother. When we’re back in the north, I’ll find a job, even dishwashing will do. I’ll take care of you.”“Oh, my dear girl…” The old lady was delighted. Life had been tough for her. Especially after she went to South City, she was forced to labor and even bottled up her anger. But in the end, she lost her only grandchild. The old woman had lost her meaning and purpose in life. But at the thought of her son, she knew she had to survive. And now, luckily, she got a daughter.
He had nothing to say. At that moment, all he did was murmur to himself. “I’ve swept through the entire mountain, but she was nowhere to be found. She must have been lying when she said she was on the mountain!”Sabrina laughed coldly. “Jane will never lie. If she said she’s on the mountain, then she’s definitely on the mountain. It’s just that she decided to move away the moment she heard you say you wanted to find her.”Alex sighed. Subconsciously, he choked on a sob. He felt a sense of despair in his chest. He never expected he would feel this way. He always thought he had no feelings for Jane, what's more love. They were just co-workers who were very compatible with each other. Jane said it herself, the day his true girlfriend came back, she would disappear willingly. Now that his true girlfriend was back, and true to her word, she disappeared. But his entire life was a mess. He was going to go crazy.Right at that moment, someone called him. Alex thought it was news from the me
On the other end, Marcus sounded confused, “Who are you?”Lily answered, “I’m Old Master Shaw’s friend. How are the Old Master’s affairs going?”For the past few weeks, Lily was busy trying to reconcile with Alex. He even went to the top of the mountain to deal with Jane. So, even though she was in South City, she did not pay much attention to Old Master Shaw.Right until now, Lily still remembered what Emma told her when she asked her to come home. She said there was a foul-smelling force in South City that required the cooperation of both Old Master Shaw and herself to remove.Now she wondered how Old Master Shaw was doing? Emma did not even answer her calls. These people! They called her back but now all of them were retreating like cowards. Was it public information that she had been dumped by Alex? With Old Master Poole’s support and approval, Alex would have a hard time getting rid of her! On the other end, Marcus asked her impatiently, his tone exhibiting his annoyance, “W
She heard from Emma that she got to where she was by using her skills in bed. Emma’s first goal in calling her to return from abroad was because she wanted Lily to act as her ally, and get rid of Sabrina. Sabrina Scott! That damn woman! The first time she came to her home, without even bothering to first ask her about the situation, she immediately ordered her two little sidekicks and her little daughter to beat her up till her face was covered in bruises. That was the reason why Alex did not want her anymore because she looked ugly after the beating! Since she was now confident in her final win, she was determined to also get rid of all of Jane’s supporters! Lily was wildly ambitious, and she acted swiftly on her ambitions. After ending the call with Marcus, Lily visited a beauty parlor. Her investment in herself obviously paid off. After leaving the health club, her cheeks were as smooth as a baby’s bottom. She refused to believe that Alex, who had been in love with her so long
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
